Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1516596A1] The invention relates to an improved system for the treatment incontinence. The inventive system comprises means of returning the vesical neck and the urethra to the original position thereof in a less aggressive manner, through the use of a mesh that can be positioned beneath the urethra and tautened to a desired value. Said system comprises: a mesh positioning element in the form of a tool consisting of a handle and a blunt needle, said needle having a wide through hole disposed at the distal end thereof; and a mesh element with a central urethral portion, both ends thereof terminating in filiform elements. The aforementioned mesh comprises different sets of through holes which are disposed at both ends thereof and on either side of the intermediate urethral portion. <IMAGE>
